Patent CA-2353873-C (CA)
Inventor: BERESNEV LEONID
IPC: H04B10/135
Filed: 2000-01-17
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: When an optical pulse having any polarization at all is transmitted through an optical communication system, which is optically anisotropic, at least in sections, the optical pulse generally becomes distorted due to the different velocities of the various polarization components. This distortion of the optical pulses reduces, in particular, the maximum transmission rate of the system.     A remedy is provided, on the one hand, by a method where, functioning in response to the detected transmission quality of the communication system, a polarization-controlling device for setting the polarization of the optical pulse is driven in such a way that the transmission quality is maximized and, on the other hand, by an optical communication system, which includes an optical transmission medium, a device for determining the transmission quality of the communication system, a regulating device, and a polarization-controlling device. The output signal from the device for determining the transmission quality of the communication system is applied to the regulating device, which drives the polarization-controlling device to change the polarization of the optical pulses in such a way that the transmission quality is optimized.

Abstract: A cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) comprises an inner fluorescent tube and an outer glass tube which is sheathed on the outside of said inner tube, characterized in that said inner fluorescent tube and said outer glass tube is separately disposed, and there is a space therebetween. Said CCFL further comprises electrodes sealed at the ends of said inner fluorescent tube and said outer glass tube. The CCFL of the present invention has a double-tube construction, as a result, the inner fluorescent tube is not so much affected by a change in the environmental temperature. Further, the inner fluorescent tube and the outer glass tube are separately disposed so that the end of the inner fluorescent tube and the end of the outer glass tube are not integrally joined, so that a rate of the breakage caused by the temperature difference between two ends is dramatically reduced.
